Caray, Caray!

Lots happened tonight, so without my usual intro I will get right to it. No, not really. Got to have an introduction especially since so much happened. So many questions left unanswered from last night. What has become of our giggling duo? Will Marco and Ale do the nasty? Will Susana return to Siglo? Will Ale Return? Will Susana tell Ale about Rafa? Will Don Gaston find a husband for Vicky? Are Marco and Vicky both crazy and in need of shrinks? Read on and all will be revealed. Well almost all.


Susana has returned to Siglo and is immediately assaulted by the entire group prying for information. Pepito asks her where she left Dandy? Bebe scolds him and tells him not to be so nosey (no seas metiche/meddlesome or nosey). She explains the last she heard they were out collecting the money from the truck sales. Claudia chimes in “ Not that I want to think badly about them but maybe those magpies have fled with the money” ( esas urracas ya volaron con el dinero).

Said magpies are being pulled over by our two goofy cops. Things go from bad to worse in a New York minute as explained quite nicely by Vivi in last night’s recap.

Marco and Ale with champagne glasses in hand, have entered the honeymoon suite. Ale chugging away, questions and answers her own question “Marco where did it go, where did we get lost (extraviar/ to go astray or to get lost)? It was for sure the day this guy appeared in our lives.” Marco agrees that this half haired jerk changed their lives. Ale on her second glass of champagne and quickly going for the third continues “he sent me over the cliff and later he sent me to hell.” (me mando/sent al barranco/ cliff or ditch y luego me mando al demonio). Marco is a little confused by this as Ale continues chugging and explaining what she meant. Marco showing his “softer side” tells her none of this matters now. They are together and no one will separate them. Not even Medina. Ale in total drunken agreement swaggers over to the champagne bottle for her fourth glass and tells Marco “Least of all Medina, lets drink to that”. Then she says “Do you know what? If Medina had never shown up I would never have doubted my love for you.” Marco still looking confused agrees. Ale continues that Medina is dead to her. Then she continues to lament for the pobre Vicky Vicky Vicky who is now stuck with that womanizer. She confesses that she actually likes Vicky (me cae bien) “I don’t have any thing against Vicky, but Rafa, it’s over .

Marco now quite fed up with Ale’s constant chatter about Rafa and Vicky tells her they are not there to talk about Media and his wife. Ale looking as if she just remembered what they are there for pours another drink and says “Of course not . This is our wedding” Marco corrects her “this is our first honey moon night. Should we go to bed?” Ale quickly answers she is not tired. Marco is, as he opens the bedroom door and we see a rose covered bed with a huge A outlined in roses.

Marco is thinking snidely to himself “I will see to it that she forgets Medina. What would happen if she knew Rafa didn’t get married?” as Ale stumbles into the room admiring the display of roses. Marco now wanting to get down to business approaches her, Ale trying hard to make a quick exit is faltered as Marco pulls her back seductively and goes in for a kiss which is met by a fish lip puckered Ale.

We have a quick scene of Jaimie consoling himself with a tequila. Wondering what he has done. He lost his girlfriend, he lost his best friend. There’s no forgiveness what he did. What can he do to get them back.

Rafa and Dandy are at the police station. The desk clerk is informing Rafa that his alcohol level was low, but his car has to stay on the lot (corralon) until he pays the fine. Rafa pleading with the clerk tells him he can’t do that. He needs his car. The clerk reminds him that he broke the law and was driving his car when he shouldn’t have been. Pay the fine and you will get your car back. Dandy asks if the car is safe in the impound lot. The clerk tells him not to pay attention to all the rumors and assures them it will be safe.

Rafa continues to argue but dandy pulls him aside and tells him it is better to just go back to Siglo and let Beltran know what is going on. Then he asks Rafa why he didn’t take the money out of the trunk (cajuela). Rafa tells him that they already thought they were a couple of delinquents. What would they have thought if they say all that cash. And if they took the money they would have to catch a taxi and Rafa wasn’t going to go through that again.

We are back with are happy couple. Marco is tenderly telling Ale they are going to recover what they lost as he showers a less than enthusiastic Ale with kisses. Now it is Ale’s turn to thought bubble wearing a plastic smile thinking “Okay Rafa we are now both in the same spot. Both married” then with a very sad face looks away from Marco still thinking about Rafa “I miss you.” as Marco starts to undress her we see a very worried look from Ale.

Dandy and Rafa have arrived back at Siglo. Susana calling them irresponsible, asks them where they have been and where is the money. Rafa shooting a look to Dandy then to Susana says “Guess what? We didn’t bring it.” We hear “What?” in unison. Then Susana asks “Did you spend it (gastaron)?” The general is sure they drank it. Ramiro is certain they were assaulted and Claudia wonders if they lost it. Ramirez asked if they used it to make bets ( apostaron). Rafa nervously says no to all and tells them to let him first talk with Beltran and than they will tell them all about it later. Before they leave Dandy makes an attempt to talk with Susana and tells her he loves her. This is shot down as Susana tells Dandy that “You two are useless.”

Ale and Marco are alone in bed (or are they?) as Marco is caressing a smiling Ale, calling her his love and kissing her when he looks over and sees a smiling Rafa lying next to Ale. (Funniest telenovela moment I have ever seen!!!). Marco screeches with freight and jumps out of the bed scaring the daylights out of Ale screaming “What’s he doing here?” Now an equally frightened and confused Ale asks who, as she looks over and sees no one is there. Marco starts jumping over to the other side of the bed looking for Rafa. He searches under the bed and in the bathroom. Ale now standing has grabbed the sheet to cover her self and is asking Marco what’s going on. Marco totally over the edge is screaming “that half haired jerk. He’s here. I am going to kill him. Where is he. Where did he go?” Ale now has jumped up on the bed and Marco is still flipping out screaming “where is Medina? Where did he go?” Ale asks him if he is going crazy. Marco is out of control as he continues accusingly yelling at Ale “I saw him. Medina. He is here“.

Rafa is explaining to Beltran and Doña Arcadia where the money is. It is in the truck of his car in the impound lot. Doña Arcadia wants to make sure she heard him correctly as she repeats “Do you mean to tell me you left all that cash in the trunk of your car? And it is at the police station?” Beltran wants to know if they are crazy. And we take a much needed commercial break.

Beltran is not taking the news very well as he clutches his heart. He wants to know why the money from the sale is in the car. He bids adios to a cruel world whining like a ninny. Doña Arcadia tells him to hang on, first they have to find a way to get the money back. Rafa interrupts and tells them he needs to pay the fine then get his car back so they can get the money out of the trunk. Doña Arcadia tells them to get going, and they are off, but not before they are stopped by Chato to do a quick bow of reverence to his Queen. Beltran continues screaming at them to not return until they have the money. Poor Rafa is so rattled as he backs out he almost demolishes the entire place.

Back at “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest” we have Marco still screaming and ranting at Ale “This can’t be!! That half haired jerk was here again!!!” (referring to his other hallucinations of Rafa in bed with Ale).
A Very puzzled Ale now huddled in a pink robe on the corner of the bed wants to know what he is talking about. Marco is still looking around for Rafa while Ale now panicked is opening the bathroom door assuring Marco that nobody is there. Ale tells him she may have had her share to drink but he is the one that is affected. She asks him if he is drunk and who did he see. Was it Medina? Marco crazed tells her “Yes it was him he was here beside you smiling and making fun of me. .(sonriendome burlandose).

Ale is quite worried by now and tells Marco that something is going on. She assures him that Rafa is not there, it is just the two of them . “He is married now and doesn’t exist between us”. Marco tells her he saw him. Marco now on the bed with fingers to his mouth in dire need of an anti-psychotic drug is trembling in terror. Ale kneels beside him and tells him she is really worried. She tells him to look as she points over to the bed. “There is no one here but you and me. Your obsession on the subject of Medina has reached it’s limits.” Marco looking at her and barely whispers “Do you think so?” Ale tells him yes She thinks he should see a psychiatrist . Marco does a little crazy sign to his head and repeats “A psychiatrist?” She tells him he needs to see a specialist because what just happened isn’t normal. Marco reluctantly agrees with her.

We have our quick lovely Marian fix. Chespis is asking her if she thinks Rafa will accept her invitation to Monterrey this time. He didn’t go the last time. Marian reminds her the last time wasn’t her fault. May be this time he will go. It is going to be about trucks. Chespis wants to know if she should call Rafa to ask him. Marian tells her she will do it herself.

Ale is telling Marco, since he brought up the subject of Medina, that today he has to pay her what he owes her. She tells him not to worry. “Right now he should be getting the money from the truck sales and like you said we need this money today. Does it bother you that I will have to see him to get paid?” Marco now more calm, asks her where she will meet him. She tells him at Siglo. Marco more subdued, thumping his head with his hand tells her that will be fine. Ale begs him to think about what just happened and what she said. For the sake of their marriage. She tells him she was really scared by all this and doesn‘t want a repeat performance. Than she thinks to herself “This can’t be happening, Because of Medina I can’t have relations with my husband. Although on the other hand I am happy about this.” Then she tells Marco she feels responsible for all of this. Marco meekly tells her he will go see a psychiatrist. He will get help.

Susana has entered Doña Arcadias office and has made a sweet deal. She will be returning for double the salary. She confesses to their dismay that she was involved with Dandy. They tell her if Dandy doesn’t leave her alone she is to tell them and they will fire him. Susana doesn’t want that to happen. Win/win all around. Siglo gets back there most valuable employee. Doña Arcadia gets her precious massages and we can hang on to the hope that Dandy and Susana will get back together.

Pancho and Felipe have shown up to Siglo looking for Rafa. Rafa wants to know what they are doing there. Felipe tells him they have come for their money. Rafa tells them he doesn’t have the money. And a fist flies towards Rafa’s throat.

The brother’s are throttling poor Rafa as Marino hangs in the background wearing a creepy smile. Dandy intercedes and tells the brothers they need Rafa alive to get their money. Felipe bouncing around like a kangaroo is shouting now at Dandy. All of Siglo is now involved. Marino says he wouldn’t be happy to see Medina get a few punches, but he would be really happy to see him get really beat up. Reluctantly it is agreed that Felipe and Pancho will accompany Rafa and Dandy to recover the money.

There is a funny little scene where Ramirez offers to sell Rafa a new car. One that would help avoid any further situations like the one he is in now. He could even give him a discount. Dandy interrupts him saying “How could think about selling him a car at a time like this?”

As Rafa and Dandy leave with the brothers Marino says “Medina is a looser . Sooner or later that gorilla and chimpanzee will make sausage out of him and that will be a happy day for me. Life is just.” Ramirez sadly agrees telling his comrades that those butchers will be the end of Rafa as he continues to say “I am beginning to believe that those savages are related to my wife.”

Don Gaston is hard at work as he overhears a customer talking about Vicky. She is telling her friend that she invented a tale about being pregnant. He confronts them and asks them what they are talking about. She apologizes but tells him it can’t be avoided. Don Gaston wants to know if the entire neighborhood is gossiping about this. The women tells him that she doesn’t want to offend him but they all think she has a screw missing (faltando un tornillo). Poor Don Gaston shouts at them, he can’t permit them to talk about his daughter like that. She really was in love with Medina, and that doesn’t mean she is crazy. The women tells him if she were him it would be best if she were taken care of at a nuthouse (loquera/ madhouse or insane asylum). Don Gaston angered by this remark decides to charge her double for the meat. Then he realizes he should not be so rude to his customers. He slightly lowers the price as he slings the bagged meat across the counter. The other women has decided not to buy anything and they leave as Don Gaston pounds his gavel in disgust calling them a couple of old gossipy parrots (bola/ring or ball de viejas cotorras chismosas).

Vicky is still in her room but has changed out of her wedding gown. We hear a very eerie Adam’s family style of the wedding march as Vicky talks to herself and places her wedding veil on her head. She is asking
no one in particular where her Pajarito has gone and to tell her where she should look for him. She has the same crazed look on her face that we saw on Marco earlier.


Ale also out of her wedding attire has entered Auto Siglo. She is stampeded by the crew dying for more gossip. Claudia asks her what she is doing their. Shouldn’t she be on her honeymoon. Didn’t she get married today. One by one they all add their two cents. She tells them all she got married, but before she leaves on her honeymoon she has to see Medina. This is met with surprise and in unison “What???”

She explains the only reason she needs to see him is regarding work matters. She asks them what they were thinking she was there for. Bebe tells her it is really strange to see her here “I can’t believe there could be any business deal worth you coming here on your wedding day.” She is rescued by Susana who want’s to know what she is doing here and whisks her away, telling her they need to talk. Ale is equally surprised to see Susana at Siglo.

The two friends catch up. Ale wants to know why she is there. Didn’t she quit. Susana tells her that Beltran and Doña Arcadia talked her into staying. She retells all the perks they offered. They raised her salary and even offered to fire Dandy if he bothers her. Now it is Susan’s turn to quiz Ale on why she is here. She tells her she came to get the money Rafa owes her.

Susana lightly scolds her, telling her this isn’t a day for business. This is your wedding day. Ale shaking her head and now crying tells Susana this is the saddest day of her life. “I couldn’t have had a sadder uglier wedding. And my papa wasn’t even there. And things aren’t going well with Marco” Susana reminds her that she never thought it was a good idea to marry Marco. Ale tells her “ I had to marry him. Rafa is married. I will never see him again. This is my destiny. Would you want me to be a spinster?” (solterona) Susana says guess what and before she can finish her sentence they are interrupted by Beltran.

Ale wiping her tears tells Beltran she is crying tears of happiness. He wants to know what she is doing there, wasn’t this her wedding day? Ale flashes her wedding ring smiling and tells him she is married. Beltran wants to make sure she got his gift, a can opener (abrelatas). He tells her he needs to talk with her urgently and will wait for her in his office and leaves. Ale asks Susana if she knows what he wants to talk to her about. Susana tells her no and attempts once more to tell her something and Ale brushes her off telling her she has to go talk to Beltran.

Don Gaston is artfully taking a cleaver to a piece of meat. A young man approaches and asks for a kilo of
sausages (longanizas). Don Gaston tells him he has seen him here before and starts chatting. What does he do? Is he married? Is he single? Is he gay? (I smell a matchmaker here). Don Gaston asks him if he wouldn’t want to meet a beautiful young women who is a good cook and get married and have kids? The young man tells him there isn’t anyone like that. Don Gaston than asks him if he wouldn’t like to marry someone like that. Our young customer is catching on as he says “Are you talking about Vicky?“ Don Gaston Smiling proudly says “well who else?” Our customer backs away telling Don Gaston no thanks, he has enough hysteria with his mother. Don Gaston is holding up the sausages and tells him he forgot them. The young man in quite a hurry rushes off and tells him to hang on to them for him.

Poor Don Gaston wipes a furrowed brow saying to himself, “nobody wants anything to do with Vicky. What am I going to do with this creature (criatura).

Ale meets with Doña Arcadia and Beltran and is asked for the millionth time if she wasn’t going to get married today. Beltran tells Doña Arcadia that she is married and is now Mrs. Venezuela. Ale with the fake smile holds up the ring. Once again she explains why she isn’t on her honeymoon. She tells them they will have a honeymoon after they have a church wedding. Then she asks about Rafa. Doña Arcadia tells her that Rafa wants her to stay at Siglo. Beltran then tells her Rafa made a condition that he would stay only if Ale stayed. Ale is surprised and wonders why he would want her to stay. Well of course so he could continue to torture her. Doña Arcadia seems confused by this and Ale realizes she had said this out loud and back tracks. Beltran cuts to the chase and tells her that her and Rafa were the best workers Siglo ever had and offers Ale her old job back. Ale tells them she will have to think this over and will get back to them.

Rafa and the crew have arrived at the impound lot. Rafa loudly bangs on the door and is greeted by an armed guard none to happy to see them. Rafa explains he came to get his car. The guard tells them this isn’t the time to get his car. They all start talking at once and Felipe is offended when the guard calls him a child. The guard tells them to come back in the morning. He tells Rafa all the papers he needs to bring and that he also has to pay the fine. This is not going so well for the guys. The guard tells Rafa not to look at him with those eyes. Rafa in full twit fashion tells the guard they are the only eyes he has. He realizes that they aren’t going to be able to anything tonight. The guard leaves slamming the door in Rafa’s face. The guys scope out the building and come up with a plan.

Our veiled Vicky in purple pajamas is sadly caressing her photo of Rafa as Don Gaston enters the room. He asks her how she feels. She sighs deeply and he tells her this can’t go on like this. He tells her “you look really bad and you won’t take off that veil. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I think you need to go see a specialist. Someone that can cure emotional problems. You need to understand that I think you might need to go see a psychiatrist.” (We have heard this speech before tonight. ) Vicky turns and looks at Don G. and says “What?” then repeats sadly through tears “Pajarito”

Our last scene is with Ale and Susana. Susana wants to know what Beltran and Doña Arcadia wanted. She tells her they want her to return to work as if nothing has happened. Susana wants to know what she told them. Ale tells her she told them nothing for now. She has to talk it over with her husband. They both shutter when Ale says “husband”. Ale says that sounds really strange. Susana agrees especially since her husband is Marco and not Rafa. Ale sarcastically thanks her for reminding her of that fact. Ale tells her she can’t work with Rafa. Especially knowing that he is now married to that intense Pajritta as she mimics Vicky’s screechy voice. Susana tells her she needs to hear this, Ale slightly protesting says what? Susana finally tells her that Rafa did not marry Vicky. We end with a dazed and confused looking Ale at hearing this news.
